Why do they have the contact for Mk262 and 5.56 optimized brown tip if they were such clowns?
All I can tell you is my personal experience... here's a few things I've found.... just off the top of my head...
We/I have guaged Black Hills ammo with all the toys you use to make precision ammo. And I've never come across one single thing they do good.
Bullet runout? .007-.009 on 308 "match" ammo.
Primer seating depth? We had rounds that wouldn't fire in Papabear's Rem 700 .308 because the primers were too deep.
We tried weight sorting their "MATCH" 300 Win Mag brass and the variances were crazy compared to REAL quality brass. Norma, RWS, LaPua, etc.
I don't know who makes their brass, but on the 300 WM brass, the primer pockets are loose after two firings. Why bother annealing the crap?
I haven't measured their powder charge weights... simply because when I get some Black Hills ammo, I don't have time... I just pull the bullets and make good ammo out of it.
The only thing that they seem to DO RIGHT at black hills is load GOOD BULLETs. I'll give them credit for that. It's the one thing that masks all the other sloppy work in their ammo.

You can't really say things like light bullets are always more accurate at 100 yards or heavies are. It really depends on your load and your gun. My Noveske does about the same with 52 grain Hornady Match bullets as it does with 77 grain SMK and Nosler bullets between 1 moa and 1.2. Now my Larue Stealth likes the heavies better and go figure the Noveske is a 1/7 gun and the Larue is a 1/8. The Larue will shoot 77 grain bullets .65 moa for me while the light bullets that do well in the Noveske are 1.2 to 1.5 moa in the Larue. I use both in matches.
Full disclosure my best 5 shot group I have ever fired I did the other day with 52 grain Hornady bullets (reloads)
